Pavelski has been huge for them.
Cogliano and Comeau have been good too. Never mind the meltdown this place would experience if the Flames brought in Pavelski, imagine the meltdown if they signed a 32yo Comeau for $2.4M and a 31yo Cogliano for $3.25.
The word meltdown does not cover it.
And yet here we are, watching a team with an aging core that 'couldn't win' be supplemented with more aging vets, and they are 2 games away from the finals.
Yes they have a couple really good young players as well (every team does), but the meat of this team is aging vets.
14 of their players are 28 or older. 10 of them are in their 30s.
It's unpossible.
